The team behind Urban Xchange want to showcase local talent and they are planning evenings not just of music, but also comedy, poetry and spoken word.

The venue will be hosting its first evening of live entertainment tomorrow (Saturday, February 3) where there will be a performance by acoustic musician Duncan Ewart, followed by a DJ playing funk and rare groove.

Urban Xchange has a happy hour from 4 to 7pm Monday to Friday on draught beers, wines and spirits.
